Category: Teaware

A compact clay gaiwan set designed for gong fu cha brewing at home or on the go. The set includes the gaiwan, two small cups, and a zippered carrying case — everything you need for multiple steepings wherever you are.

Clay gaiwans are favored by serious tea drinkers because the porous material gradually absorbs the oils and aromas of the teas you brew in it, subtly enhancing flavor over time. The more you use it, the better it gets. 

How to brew: Add whole leaf tea to the gaiwan, pour hot water, steep for 20–30 seconds, and strain into the cups. Repeat multiple times, adding a few seconds to each subsequent steep.

Available in white, grey, or green.

Set includes: clay gaiwan · 2 cups · zippered carrying case

John K. ★★★★★

Brewed three steepings of oolong in this on a hotel desk last week and the clay barely stained. The two cups are the perfect size for sharing, and cleanup took all of a minute.

Aurora ★★★★★

The little zippered case actually fits everything snugly, so I've been tossing it in my bag for tea at the office. The two cups are the perfect size for sharing a session, and the clay keeps the heat nicely between pours.

Ruby Q. ★★★★★

Brewed three steeps back to back and the clay didn't get hot enough to burn my fingers at all. The two cups are the perfect size for sharing, and the whole thing packs down small enough to toss in a tote.
